TomD9938:They're kind of being dicks in crashing another enthusiasts gathering.

I mean what if the English Heritage guys decided to show up and take a dump on one of their Star Wars Geek Conventions?

Not cool.

From the comments on that page :

"As you can see from the plastic beer glass the 95th sergeant is holding, the photo was taken at the evening get together, after the public had gone. People donning fancy dress for this is common, there was also a dalek, several lobsters, Captain America and a mob of 1920's gangsters and their molls. The evening social activities are a major attraction to re-enactors. "

Have you seen the movie? I don't think that armor protects against anything seeing as how a single blaster hit still takes them out, so its more just a uniform than actual armor. I think she's in the clear, plus....boobies.

not5am:HotWingAgenda: Aren't the stormtroopers all clones of the same guy? So any female storm trooper would be a sister to every single stormtrooper in existence.

no, the cloning vats were destroyed sometime between 3 and 4. they resorted to general recruitment before 4 takes place.

Not only that, but clones take time to develop. The Empire nationalized a number of local/regional military academies such as Carida, Anaxes, Arkanis, and turned them into Imperial training facilities. By the time of Episode IV, it was estimated that 1/3 of all stormtroopers were clones; it apparently was one of the few sources of discord within the Stormtrooper Corps, since the clones thought the recruited were inferior.

enry:dittybopper: CheatCommando: Well they do shoot like inbred rednecks...

Actually, inbred rednecks generally shoot purdy good. When whether you eat or not depends on your ability to put lead on target, that sort-of focuses you in a way that most people don't realize.

Would like a word

It's pretty easy to do well against the litany of under-achievers coming onto your home turf. McClellan, Pope, Burnside, and Hooker weren't exactly the strongest of military leaders. And then when he tried to go on the offensive, the first time it accomplished nothing and the second time it ended badly.

dittybopper:Plus, their wifeousin will yell at them if they don't bring something home to feed the all the little banjo players running around the trailer.

As a West Virginian I take offense to this. First off, we do not use the term wifeousin. We call them kiss'n cousins. Secondly there is absolutely no running in the trailer. Them lil turd factories could trip over one of my rifles and possibly cause damage to the rifle.

Yeah. It's why I worry more about getting shot in Baltimore rather out in Washington County MD. I don't really have any enemies, so I don't worry about the bullet with my name on it so much as the Baltimore-style bullet addressed to "occupant". Those guys have zero marksmanship skills, and I don't want to get shot because I'm standing within 30 feet of someone.

They need to start teaching marksmanship in the Balt Co public school system pronto.

Ironically, if instead of putting gang-bangers in prison we taught them basic marksmanship, there would be both fewer gang-bangers, and fewer innocent bystander casualties. Win-win!
